Day 3 = SUCCESS
Today was my first time to eat outside of the house. I went to a girlfriends house for dinner, had 2 drinks and only ate my plate full. So it was a success. I've just come off a WW core experience for almost a year now. I was very successful and have lifetime membership status, which I'm still pretty proud of. And it was a good experience as I eat pretty healthily (for the most part.) But its hard as I've lived that life for so long. It just became an obsession that wasn't working. I couldn't enjoy myself at a friends house for dinner as I wasn't in control of the meal and didn't feel right imposing my way of eating on everyone. Which of course led me to feel a little miserable as I knew I was "failing" a little by eating off plan. I hate all this mind chatter of what's ok and what's not now that I'm more focussed on NoS. I'm definitely looking forward to that changing!
b - kashi cereal, ff milk, banana, 1 egg, coffee
l - veggie burger, mashed potatoes, peas
d - creamy sour cream chicken, brown rice, salad, light dressing

Day 4 = SUCCESS
I was so freaken busy at work today that I didn't feel hungry once. It was good for that reason...but hard because it was a rough day. But it is finished and a success and that's all that matters.
b - oatmeal, blueberries, ff milk, coffee
l - veggie burger, peas, ff yogurt with blueberries
d - shredded wheat, banana, 2 pieces toast

I had my first week of successful n days. That feels great. The weekend was normal snacking and a few sweets but still chose good options for breakfast and lunch.
TMI - I've been constipated since starting. Its definitely uncomfortable and I'm trying to "move things along" with fiber one cereal, some special tea, oatmeal. But am not having any luck. Its getting frustrating! I wonder if this has happened to anyone else?

Congratulations on your excellent first week!
Regarding "moving things along" (grin), I've heard that keeping oneself well hydrated is key, along with the fiber. Are you drinking enough? A few glasses of water a day should do the trick, but it's easy enough to forget.
Sorry if that doesn't work, it's the first thing that comes to mind. :]

Thanks Janie! I appreciate that
So I was an idiot this weekend!!! I hate this relationship I have with food! The weekend came and I knew I could eat sweets and snacks and just because I could...I did. And I wasn't even hungry. But I thought that I won't get to do this for a whole other week, I better do it now. I even contemplated going out for a "chocolate something" last night! And I wasn't hungry in the least!!! I didn't go get it, thank goodness! But still, the thought was definitely there! I almost feel like a failure because of my thoughts even. They are so sabotaging! I can get through the week just fine (even though I'm thinking about snacks or sweets all he time) and then I feel like I go crazy on the weekend.
Now that the weekend is over, here's to a good week!

if you just keep plugging away and keeping your N days green and DON'T WORRY about your S Days, ONLY worry about ENJOYING WHATEVER you eat on your S Days, you will be amazed at the changes that will occur when "you aren't even looking"!
You are doing GREAT!
FORGET whatever churning chastisements are lingering about your weekend and ENJOY your N days, next weekend will just be another opportunity to ride that bike without the training wheels,

Blueskighs, you are awesome! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I wish I logged on last night and read them. I ended up letting my mind get the best of me and had a sweet snack after dinner last night. So I had to mark a failure on habitcal and here. It sucks (it wasn't even a "worth it" snack either!!!) but today, my 21 days start over and it will all be ok. I'll keep plugging along!
Day 15 (I wasn't counting correctly earlier in my posts) = FAILURE
